Death on the Missouri Pacific Line

A murdered businessman. A secret gambling den. And an ambitious young reporter chasing the biggest story of her career.

Kansas City, 1920s. Reporter Claire O’Connor has finally earned a coveted spot on the crime desk at the Kansas City Times. Her assignment begins when an unidentified man is discovered dead beside the Missouri Pacific railroad tracks.

Determined to uncover the truth, Claire follows a trail that leads to identifying the deceased and then to a clandestine gambling operation secreted in a bordello. Along the way, she relies on Detective Wells for inside information. Cocky, handsome, and infuriatingly sure of himself, Peter is exactly the sort of man Claire knows she shouldn’t trust... especially with her heart.

For readers who enjoy spirited female reporters, Jazz Age intrigue, historical mysteries, and a slow-burn romance, Death on the Missouri Pacific Line delivers murder, secrets, danger, and a determined heroine who refuses to let anyone tell her which stories she’s allowed to chase.
